Sam said: “I got the inspiration to build the Rolls Royce ratrod at SEMA in 2015. I was helping a friend of mine build a car for SEMA and at the time I had a few too many ‘lemonades’ and pretty much put my foot in it.”

Spurred on by a few drinks, Sam had entered into a competition to build a ratrod and show it at the following year’s SEMA event.

He added: “I chose Rolls Royce mainly because it’s a British car and it was built in England.”

After doing some research the team were informed that the car used to belong to Lord Tredegar

Born Evan Frederic Morgan, 2nd Viscount Tredegar, the nobleman was once one of the wealthiest people in the world and was a well known occultist and close friend of Pope Pius XI.

After finding out who the car once belonged to, the team were fascinated by the wacky and weird Lord. After finding out who the car once belonged to, the team were fascinated by the wacky and weird Lord.

Sam said: “He had fighting kangaroos, he had flamingos in his field and even carried around a talking parrot. Apparently he used to put it down his trousers and at parties and functions it would use its claw to open the zip, pop its head out and talk to the guests."

Boasting a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 engine, their powerful creation is yet to be pushed to the limit as no one on the team is brave enough to test the beast.

Sam explained: “Me, Jesse and Michael have driven the car and it’s quite scary to actually put your foot down on a car that has an aluminium frame, you don’t want to twist it. The car is very light, it weighs under a tonne.

“The power to weight ratio is something like a Ferrari, it’s unbelievable. You put your foot down and it’s actually quite scary because this thing is a power house.”
